Postdoctoral position in Knowledge Representation, Utrecht (The Netherlands)

The Utrecht University Department of Information and Computing Sciences in collaboration with the Dutch police, is looking for enthusiastic Postdocs to work on Automated Argumentation-based Intelligence Analysis in domains such as high-impact crime, drug trafficking and domestic terrorism.

Argumentation-based intelligence analysis combines data science, argumentation and man-machine dialogues: when AI systems automatically draw conclusions from data, human intelligence analysts can engage in a dialogue with these systems to argue with the system about these conclusions and the underlying reasons. In this way, the system can be monitored and, through the argument-based feedback, further improved.

We are looking for Postdocs with a strong technical profile in Artificial Intelligence (i.e. PhD in AI or related field, such as Computer Science or Decision Sciences). Basic programming skills and a willingness to further develop such skills are a must. Candidates with knowledge of argumentation, logic or semantic web technologies are especially encouraged to apply. Because of the sensitive data used in the research, applicants should be of good repute.
